RACE WEEKEND TRAVEL & PARKING

As a street circuit there will not be any parking available directly at the track. We recommend using the extensive public transport network in Baku to get around the city and to the track over the race weekend.

The bus is also a convenient transportation, the bus journeys are usually 20q per journey. Bus numbers 5, 53 and 65 all stop a short walk away from the circuit. To find your bus routes visit www.gomap.az. Please be careful with newer services, as some will only accept a prepaid card, called a BakiKart. You can get a Bakikart and top it up at metro stations or at some bus stops. Tourists can get a reusable card or a disposable card valid for 4 journeys.

On Friday, Saturday and Sunday the main concerts will take place in Baku Crystal Hall on the Coastal Boulevard, adjacent to Flag Square. The walking distance from the circuit is approximately 5km, however the circuit will be running a free shuttle bus service for those attending the evening concerts. More information for these transfers, including maps, times and bus stop locations will be available closer to the event.

London taxi cabs have been recently introduced in Baku, the travel fees are roughly 0.70AZN per km. We would suggest you to agree on a price or to double-check the price before getting inside the car. The Royal Taxi can be contacted at the following: Royal Taxi, +994 051 880-2009 (contact@royaltaxi.az) Uber is also operating in Baku.

There is an extensive Metro system across Baku and this can be used to reach the track from central and suburban stations. The nearest stop to the circuit is 28 May or Icheri Sheher, which are both a short walk from the circuit.

You will need a pre-loaded BakiKart to use the metro service. This can be purchased at train stations and selected bus stations.

Please be aware that there may be road closures in place in the lead-up to the race weekend. Ensure that you plan your travel around these closures to make access to the track as easy as possible.
